It’s the final Two Good Sports of 2026, so naturally we’re handing out some extremely prestigious, completely unofficial awards. From the athletes and moments that made us fall in love with sport all over again, to the bad sports and baffling decisions. There’s love for Jai Arrow and his extraordinary fight against MND, World Cup magic from Cabo Verde, Winter Olympics heroes, Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary’s royal-couple status, women’s cricket scheduling frustrations, rugby league World Cup hype and plenty of sporting moments that weren’t on our 2026 bingo card.

Plus, we look ahead to the Australian Open, next year's Formula 1, a possible Wallabies resurgence and everything 2027 might throw at us. And because it’s the finale, things get a little sentimental. Thanks for spending 2026 with us. We adore you and will see you next year!

Abbey and Georgie wrap up a Grand Final weekend that delivered heartbreak for Newcastle and another title for the Roosters. They unpack the Grand Final itself, the NRL’s much-discussed pre-match entertainment, why the Roosters looked unstoppable all season, and celebrate the rise of Marky Mark Nawaqanitawase, who somehow managed to win an Ashes, an Origin and a premiership this year.

Plus, a look back on the biggest stories of the season, a debate around where the Knights go next, some flowers for Trent Robinson, and why Sam Mitchell skipped the AFL Grand Final to watch back-to-back movies instead.

NRL Grand Final reaction: the Sydney Roosters were actually perfect

The NRL Grand Final is almost upon us, and because Abbey has trust issues when it comes to fairy tale Grand Final wins, we also have to talk her through what happened last week. Wharfie Time, TOD, around 5PM Saturday 26th of September 2026.

BUT, as all great tragedies must do, they must end. And as Freo leaves our collective hearts, ahead of the NRL Grand Final agains the Sydney Roosters, the Newcastle Knights GALLOP their way in. Kalyn Ponga has said, and I quote without any parody, "Two Good Sports is the best podcast, there is no better, there simply isn't."

And for that reason, we are eternally hoping for his success. 

Until Next Week!

 Newcastle Knights have to win...please. (Also some AFL chat, sorry Abbey is grieving)

Three time Richmond premiership captain Trent Cotchin joins Abbey and Georgie fresh from a front row seat to Brisbane’s latest flag, having watched the Grand Final from inside the Lions coaches’ box. Cotchin takes them behind the scenes of the comeback, explains what separates great teams from merely good ones and compares the culture driving Brisbane’s remarkable run with the Richmond dynasty he helped build.

There’s plenty of love for Will Ashcroft, too, as Trent reveals the personality behind Brisbane’s young superstar, why his All Australian snub may have unleashed something dangerous and what makes him such a relentless competitor.

He also weighs in on the Lions’ frighteningly young list, whether they can keep the dynasty rolling, and the challenge of finding motivation when you’ve already climbed the mountain again and again. Then comes the Grand Final’s most talked-about tactical move. Trent breaks down the now infamous “Wharfie Time” call, why he actually likes the idea despite how brutally it backfired on Fremantle, and whether the Dockers can turn Grand Final heartbreak into a Richmond 2017-style launchpad next season. 

Plus, he gives an emphatic answer on whether senior coaching is in his future, explains why he’s much happier exploring life outside football and opens up on finding his place in podcasting after being told to become more opinionated in traditional media.

3x Premiership Tiger Trent Cotchin says "Wharfie Time isn't dead"

Grand Final week goes into overdrive as Abbey and Georgie land not one but two AFL premiership players in the same episode: Richmond great Jack Riewoldt and four time Hawthorn/Geelong flag winner Isaac Smith, for dueling previews of Fremantle vs Brisbane. Riewoldt breaks down what it actually felt like in the rooms when Freo booked their first ever Grand Final berth, watching former teammate Shai Bolton embrace family and friends after his move to the Dockers, and makes the case for defence deciding the contest while gently teasing the Lachie Neale tribunal drama without giving much away.

Then Isaac Smith swings by fresh off what he calls the best game of football he's ever seen, Hawthorn's heartbreaking prelim loss to Brisbane, to weigh in on whether big game experience actually matters, why nobody's talking about Freo's escape act against Sydney, and Will Ashcroft's increasingly legendary hair.

Both guests get put on the spot for a margin, a Norm Smith pick, and naturally their favourite Kylie Minogue song ahead of her halftime slot, one enthusiastically, one under extreme protest. Whether you back Freo's fairytale or Brisbane's three peat, this one comes with the inside word from two men who know exactly what it's like to walk out on the last Saturday in September.

In this episode:

00:38 Jack Riewoldt on Freo's rooms and Shai Bolton's return

02:02 Why Freo have been quietly preparing for weeks

05:17 Is Fremantle's scoring the fatal flaw?

06:12 Why defence will decide the Grand Final

08:45 Lachie Neale's tribunal drama

09:19 Kylie Minogue tickets and Grand Final predictions

11:13 Four flag guest Isaac Smith joins the show

12:33 The best game of football he's ever seen: Hawks v Lions

14:07 Justice for Freo's escape act against Sydney

14:55 Does Grand Final experience actually matter?

17:15 Will Ashcroft's hair and Norm Smith odds

18:23 The annual Grand Final conspiracy theory debate

19:49 Does Isaac miss playing?

21:37 Isaac Smith's final prediction

Abbey and Georgie gear up for the AFL Grand Final by unpacking a dusty box of Dockers memorabilia Abbey has stored away since switching allegiance to the Tigers.

Plus, a peek behind the curtain on Brownlow Medal night, with behind-the-scenes stories from the red carpet and Abbey calling for more kindness towards players’ partners in the spotlight. And there's a passionate debate about Kylie Minogue’s greatest songs ahead of her Grand Final performance, with Georgie ranking the ultimate Kylie hits.

Rove McManus joins Two Good Sports for a Freo fan therapy session, reflecting on the Dockers' historic season, the heartbreak of 2013, and why Freo supporters still can't quite believe a premiership is possible. He shares how he became a lifelong Dockers fan, gives us the lowdown on "Warfie Time", and explains what making (and potentially winning) a grand final would mean to him after decades of support.

Along the way, the chat drifts into WA footy culture, merch rivalries, a secret about Optus Stadium guitarist Troy Nababan, Rove's WWE obsession, voice acting and Finding Nemo, and his unlikely Olympic commentary career.

Sydney Sweeney is rage baiting us all...and we're only fuelling the fire

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/6af14843-09c9-496e-b0e9-b4c50072d4f8/transcript

It's NRL finals tonight, and although the top 8 is (in Georgie's words) 'crazy', we are fully invested. It's crazy because unlike most seasons, there's no obvious favourite and every finals team looks dangerous. Georgie chats with team captains from across the top eight about Kalyn Ponga's failed hex on Nathan Cleary, midriff celebrations and whether Two Good Sports can become the Knights' official supporter group.

Featuring interviews with Newcastle Knight Kalyn Ponga, NZ Warrior Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Sydney Rooster James Tedesco, South Sydney Rabbitoh Cameron Murray and NRL Chairman Peter V'landys, Abbey and Georgie preview every finals contender and break down the NRL Finals draw.

Plus, Georgie and Cam Murray reflect on the emotion surrounding Jai Arrow's 100th game, and the others reveal who they think can stop Penrith. Beyond the finals predictions, Georgie asks the captains who they'd steal from rival clubs, how to stop Nathan Cleary, whether the Warriors are now bigger than rugby union in New Zealand, and Two Good Sports somehow ends up securing a a VIP invitation to Las Vegas from Peter V'landys (no going back on it now.

Georgie returns from Perth with strong opinions about Fremantle, Optus Stadium's reclining seats, and one of the biggest AFL finals weekends in recent memory. We unpack Freo's collapse against Hawthorn, ask whether the Hawks are now premiership favourites, and break down Sydney's incredible upset win over Brisbane.
